Imagine a future where a novel form of art emerges, intertwining the ancient practices of katas and meditation with the cutting-edge capabilities of artificial intelligence. What if we could tap into the essence of harmony, balance, and wholeness, to create works of art that resonate with the very core of…

Modularity is essential for any disruptive technology. For years deep learning lacked sufficient remix functionality to quickly customize solutions. Everything had to either be trained from scratch or fine-tuned. The latest innovations are tearing down these restrictions. Modularity allows a developer to combine an existing module with others to generate…

The most glaring flaw of Deep Learning is masked because our entire society has been indoctrinated into an ontology based on substance metaphysics. We assume a feature about cognition that is simply non-existent but we think is real because of our metaphysics. Let me explain! The value of deep learning…

Fade in: INT. COMPUTER LAB — DAY We see JEN and MIKE working at their computers in a bustling lab. They are discussing the progress of their latest project, a distillation model using transformers. Jen: I think we’re making great progress with the model. It’s able to fine-tune a smaller…

As a fan of John Vervaeke’s work on Recursive Relevance Realization (R3) and its role in human cognition, I am excited to share my own proposal for a similar framework for artificial intelligence: Incremental Inductive Inference (I3). While current AI systems have not yet achieved the level of sophistication necessary…

Are you ready to have your mind blown? The parallels between Transformer models (i.e., GPT-3) and Nick Chater’s “The Mind is Flat” are too intriguing to ignore. Chater’s thesis challenges the notion of cognitive depth, arguing that our minds are actually shallow and driven by a just-in-time fluency and improvisation…

For over four billion years, the global biosphere has been performing massive parallel computations that have ultimately led to the emergence of humans. This incredible feat of natural computation is a testament to the complexity and resilience of life on Earth. However, it also serves as a reminder of the…

In my humble and somewhat comedic opinion, human cognition is a strange and wondrous thing! We are all equipped with a “now or never” form of understanding that allows us to rapidly funnel information into an information bottleneck and make sense of it in the moment. This is a bit…

Cancer cells are our own cells that have become ineffective at sustaining the life of the entire body and instead have opted to prioritize growth over anything else. They are paperclip maximizers of our bodies. Imagine a group of friends who are planning a trip together. Most of the friends…
